Suddenly Trump’s mentioning possible tapes in the White Househas all the commentators talking
about Watergate and other presidential scandals.

During Watergate the Congress studied conduct truly awfulIllegal, reprehensible, and patently unlawful.“I’m not a crook” said Nixon but they didn’t stop attackingAnd the tapes that they uncovered were enough to send him packing.

The impeachment of Bill Clinton was a very different matter Was it criminal or tawdry? In my view it was the latter.His behavior was offensive, doesn’t call for absolutionBut it surely didn’t undermine the U.S. Constitution.
